ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The War That Saved My Life" by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley tells the story of Ada, a young disabled girl, and her brother Jamie, who are evacuated from London to the English countryside during World War II. Away from their abusive mother, they find a new life with Miss Smith, who provides them with care and affection they had never known before. The narrative explores their journey as they navigate the challenges of living in a new place and form a deep bond with their caregiver. The story focuses on themes of resilience, the power of found family, and overcoming prejudice. It highlights the importance of relationships in the face of adversity, and the healing that can occur when people feel safe, accepted, and loved.
